Düsseldorf/Berlin (ots) - These days, both business customers and
private consumers want technologically sophisticated mobile phones
for voice and internet services. However, exclusive design and simple
operation are becoming increasingly important criteria in this
customer segment - criteria that are met in full by Vodafone's
comprehensive range of new smartphones and 3G broadband modems.
Visitors to the IFA trade fair will have the opportunity to see all
the impressive new models at the Vodafone booth in hall 18.

The exclusive Nokia 6730 classic is Vodafone's first trade fair
highlight. Equipped with 3G broadband for data transfer rates of up
to 3.6 mbit/s and a 2.2 inch display, this handset is perfect for
mobile internet. A special user interface on the handset simplifies
the activation of various services. The e-mail function is also very
easy to use. All you have to do to activate the Vodafone e-mail
account is insert the SIM card and the eMail Setup Wizard does the
rest. No configuration is necessary. The integrated A-GPS receiver
guarantees precision navigation in conjunction with the Vodafone
Navigator. The Nokia 6730 classic also has an MP3 player and a stereo
radio, and its 50 MB memory can be supplemented by the 1 GB microSD
card which is supplied with the phone. The elegant Nokia 6600i slide
boasts a sleek and sophisticated design. Its 5 megapixel camera with
dual LED flash and auto focus function makes photography childsplay.
Technology freaks will be delighted to hear that the Nokia N97, which
was announced last summer, is now also available at the Vodafone
shops. This smartphone has a 3.5" touchscreen and a pull-out physical
QUERTY keyboard for convenient e-mail writing. 3G broadband and WLAN
make it perfect for internet surfers with the need for speed. A 5
megapixel CMOS digital camera, GPS receiver and RDS radio round off
the pacakge.

The Vodafone 533 Crystal is a luxury lifestyle phone and a new
addition to Vodafone's own Catwalk Edition range. It has a VGA
camera, an FM radio and an integrated MP3 player. Set with 126
Swarovski crystals, this exclusive handset is predestined to be the

mobile phone's most impressive features is an 8.1 megapixel digital

convenient separate multimedia button controls on top of the housing.

Vodafone's Mobile W-LAN Spot is perfect for people who need a WLAN
